Merci Sofiane pour le partage, c'est toujours génial de partager les moments de la tête du peloton, et tu sais très bien le faire. Merci Fanny pour le taf !
Très sympa à regarder, on a l'impression d'être au coeur de la course. Merci pour ces nombreux partages, cette présence, ce franc parler et cette justesse dans tes analyses, on ne peut qu'apprécier. Vivement la prochaine Silk Road ... (la passe de 4)
Congrats, Sofiane! You're a true inspiration to me - I'm training for my first bikepacking races in Poland and Europe this year and hopefully will be in decent enough shape to take on the SRMR in 2025!
Extraordinary achievement. Congratulations! You wanted it, you got it. Even in the depths of uncertainty, your commentary expressed how much you enjoy the place, the race, the people: you win even if you don’t come in first. Alas, you won. Again, congratulations, champ!
Congrats a great race ! Another good edit ! I watched the position dots realtime on the map and race looked relentless with the front runners . Beautiful looking scenery with the horses 🐎. Ps the music riff reminds me of The Doors - Peace frog 🙂👍
'cause of you and the silkroadmountainrace i went to kyrgyzstan this year to trek in the mountains, just at the time of the 2023 silkroadmountainrace, followed you on the tracker all the time, amazing time amazing achievement and i can say its my favourite country i have ever been to
As always what an amazing video. I missed your singing as you didn’t have your phone but so glad you had your GoPro!! Are you going to ride it again 2024??? A fabulous achievement Sofiane 👍🏻
Félicitations encore une de plus, incroyable. Moi ça me fait rêver des exploits comme celui-là, non pas pour la place, le finir me conviendrai amplement , mais plutôt pour l’aventure intérieur et pour le spectacle extérieur. Je viens juste de découvrir cette course je ne savais même pas que ça existait très impressionnante. Encore bravo et bonne continuation.
Magnifique plongée dans l'intimité et la souffrance causées à la fois par le tracé de la course et par ton inoxydable désir de victoire (want so bad!) Impressionnant de détermination, je suis admiratif j'espère qu'il y moyen de la faire nettement "plus facilement" sinon je n'y participerai jamais !
nice job editor. very pleasant to watch. the question is, will you be at the SRMR 2024 start ? congrats and amazing will power for the win. Out of the 3 wins which ones was the hardest one? 2022 seemed to be terrible weather wise...
Artistic choice. I had an idea to intercut the movie with footage Justinas recorded on his phone at some point, but I did not get his videos in time. So in the end I chose to go with what Sofiane recorded only. With Justinas's footage, I would have end up with a short clip from the organisation, showing Sofiane arriving. But it made more sense to end the movie where Sofiane stopped recording.
Salut Petit Gars ! I usually refrain from commenting in French ( common courtesy, if Sofiane makes the effort to share its thoughts in English, likewise, I use English, here) but exceptionally, excuse my French, “Ah, P*tain, tu t’es salement amoché !!” Must have been some serious crash, no wonder your phone didn’t survive it. Bruised, cut, shaken, sore, smashed phone, damaged bike fixed by the side of the road, yet, you kept going. Respect.
Une vraie belle gamelle dans les règles de l'art. À croire que j'ai une sorte de besoin de me mettre des bâtons dans les roues quand je suis au Kirghizistan...
Bonjour Sofiane, est ce que tu penses qu'il est possible/intéressant de réaliser une épreuve de ce type avec un VTT tout suspendu ? Si non, pourquoi ? Je me pose cette question depuis longtemps donc je suis plus que preneur de ton avis. Merci par avance.
I think that the accompanying car with cameramen should go with you so that we could see the full report with details. because it is difficult for you to do it alone. it is impossible for one person to conquer the silk road and make a full movie about it. i think there will be something to see))
3 Times! No words man, Great job. Loved the Vlog, place looks insane 👏👏👏
massiv man!!!!! One more time congratulations for this.
Thanks Seb. What a treat this race was! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did
Merci Sofiane pour le partage, c'est toujours génial de partager les moments de la tête du peloton, et tu sais très bien le faire. Merci Fanny pour le taf !
Oui, Fanny a super bien bossé. Quand on voit le materiel de départ et le produit fini, c'est clairement du travail de pro.
Très sympa à regarder, on a l'impression d'être au coeur de la course. Merci pour ces nombreux partages, cette présence, ce franc parler et cette justesse dans tes analyses, on ne peut qu'apprécier. Vivement la prochaine Silk Road ... (la passe de 4)
Merci à toi. Pas sûr qu'il y ait une 4eme SRMR cela dit...
Congrats, Sofiane! You're a true inspiration to me - I'm training for my first bikepacking races in Poland and Europe this year and hopefully will be in decent enough shape to take on the SRMR in 2025!
Make sure to study the game, gather as much knowledge as you can, train thoroughly, and everything will be just fine

Even if it was my 3rd time, everyday Kyrgyzstan slapped me in the face with the glory of its infinite beauty
My God, that country looks absolutely incredible. Really enjoyed this Vlog.
Ta meilleure vidéo. Drole, epique. Une performance extraordinaire. Bravo 👏
On est d'accord 😊
You did a really great job of videoing your ride especially while your racing! Amazing and congratulations ✌
Thanks! Having no phone I think I used the camera much more, as an outlet for a delayed communication with the outside world
Always a big fan of your vid’s. I’ll be attempting 2025👍 Maybe I’ll see you there.
Not impossible
Sofiane is a true racer, crazy and unstoppable. and he does what he has to do. thanks for the video👍
Congrats a great race ! Another good edit ! I watched the position dots realtime on the map and race looked relentless with the front runners . Beautiful looking scenery with the horses 🐎. Ps the music riff reminds me of The Doors - Peace frog 🙂👍
Yes the race was indeed relentless. Which is exhausting but left me with the sense of a truly great accomplishment
Super film, bravo pour ta victoire mais aussi d'avoir su capturer tous ces moments ! Congrats also for the editing. Good job!
Un grand merci !
Truly epic stuff! What an inspiration to watch and many thanks for sharing and letting us ride shotgun with you through the mountains🤩🙏
You're always welcome to ride shotgun bud!

I'm super happy I inspired you to visit Kyrgyzstan. It's truly a magical place ❤️
Wow, nice video and your determination to win the race is amazing. Congrats to 1st place !
Thanks. It's a state of mind. I think either you have or you don't.
Wow just WOW
Totally insane! Congrats on the third title!
It is crazy, man! 6 days!!!
That's how fast you need to do to win!
As always what an amazing video. I missed your singing as you didn’t have your phone but so glad you had your GoPro!! Are you going to ride it again 2024??? A fabulous achievement Sofiane 👍🏻
No I think I'm done racing the Silk Road. This year was truly my masterpiece
Encore bravo pour ta bonne humeur et ton courage , HelloFromparis.
Un grand merci !
Really amazing!
Wish you the best ❤💪
🙏🙏🙏
Chapeau bas, j'ai bien aimé la réflexion sur la penser des chevaux sauvages...🤘
Il s'en passe des choses dans la tête quand on roule 18h par jour
Great race, i do some part by car, and can't amagine how you do it on bike
The man right here !!!

Y participer c'est le gâteau. La gagner c'est la cerise
we always inspired by your courage and spirit to win bro!
Terima kasih banyak
Chapeau epic !
Dude! You are a champion and an inspiration! 😅
I like that this karaoke video has lots of gnar-bike backing ! 🔨 🎼
😂😂😂
@@sofianeshl good on ya brother, love your personality 😊
Magnifique plongée dans l'intimité et la souffrance causées à la fois par le tracé de la course et par ton inoxydable désir de victoire (want so bad!)
Impressionnant de détermination, je suis admiratif
j'espère qu'il y moyen de la faire nettement "plus facilement" sinon je n'y participerai jamais !
Plus lentement, oui. Plus facilement, je ne sais pas...
1st again 🤨🤨🤨. You’re unstoppable Sofiane❤❤❤
Don't know if I'm unstoppable, but it takes more than big crash to stop me 😉
Enjoyed every second of your videos😊
Les paysages sont tellement dingues !!! T'en chies mais c'est clair que c'est priceless comme disent les américains
Pour tout le reste, il y a eurocard mastercard
yeah...nice footage. Hope to ride together the next HMR
HMR looks brutal
esse é o cara..
Bro Himalayas winter training let's get this
nice job editor. very pleasant to watch. the question is, will you be at the SRMR 2024 start ? congrats and amazing will power for the win. Out of the 3 wins which ones was the hardest one? 2022 seemed to be terrible weather wise...
The first one was the hardest because the brutality of the race really took me by surprise
Salute -
Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Malay on your first shitty bike and now that - true inspiration.
I sure have come a long way
Jamais 2 sans 3 … 💪🏽💪🏽
Is there another part coming, or is it an artistic choice to end it in your sleeping bag on a mountain looking at a distant light chasing you?
Artistic choice. I had an idea to intercut the movie with footage Justinas recorded on his phone at some point, but I did not get his videos in time. So in the end I chose to go with what Sofiane recorded only. With Justinas's footage, I would have end up with a short clip from the organisation, showing Sofiane arriving.

👋👋👋
Incredible insight into your race!
Are you trying the Hellenic Mountain Race again on 2024? I know last one was not so great for you with the dogs...
No HMR for me next year. I'm going back to the Highland Trail 550
@@sofianeshl oh that's too bad. Good luck on the highland trail, that looks stunning!
Salut Petit Gars !

Must have been some serious crash, no wonder your phone didn’t survive it.
Bruised, cut, shaken, sore, smashed phone, damaged bike fixed by the side of the road, yet, you kept going.
Respect.

Bonjour Sofiane, est ce que tu penses qu'il est possible/intéressant de réaliser une épreuve de ce type avec un VTT tout suspendu ? Si non, pourquoi ? Je me pose cette question depuis longtemps donc je suis plus que preneur de ton avis. Merci par avance.
À mon avis il vaut mieux partir avec un semi-rigide. Ce n'est pas assez technique pour justifier l'utilisation d'un tout suspendu.
Merci beaucoup.
C’est malheureusement ce que je pense mais comme je suis en tout suspendu, il va falloir que je réfléchisse à changer.
I think that the accompanying car with cameramen should go with you so that we could see the full report with details. because it is difficult for you to do it alone. it is impossible for one person to conquer the silk road and make a full movie about it. i think there will be something to see))
That would be against the rules though
I still believe that people pay for this crazy self-amortizing adventure.
